It is quite possible that Sir Julius Yogel will be so far reeoyered by his residence at Waiwera as to be able to address a meeting in Auckland, in a short time. At the Supreme Court crimnal session, yesterday,^ Edward Dumont was sentenced to six mohtns imprisonment for maliciously wounding Francis Durant.
